Don't hit a golf ball at a GoPro...

It really doesn't work out very well for the GoPro. I thought it might be an "artsy shot"
and the gold ball would fly over the camera. unfortunately it made direct contact breaking open the case and rendering the gopro useless....


anyway does anyone know the warranty policy for a Gopro? no visible damage but it will not turn on.

thanks

The shot when the ball hit the camera is not on the fucking memory card. which is bullshit. because we destroyed a camera and did not even get proof of it.
I have the other footage of us fucking around with a gopro on the driving range... but not the money shot.

thats wierd u actually might be able to warrenty it cause im pretty sure they have a video of them running it over with a semi and it never broke. yesterday shooting urban i had it sitting at the top of the rail shooting downwards and my friend some how hit it sending it like 10 feet into the air smashing down on the pavement and it was perfectly fine

I would love to see some footage of someone hitting a GoPro LIKE a golfball. Have you ever seen the POV of a golfball? It would be sick!

never go full retard

but in all seriousness, you would defiantly have a valid case imo
it is supposed to be an indestructible case correct?
so why wouldn't they warranty it?
